Just as I can't afford a Ferrari 458 but I do admire it, I simply can't afford to buy this IQ3-100. However as a photography enthusiast I really appreciate that it has been developed and that it exists. Kudos Phase One !
I have a feeling that when a comprehensive set of tests becomes available, with various Rodenstock tech-camera lenses, the results will knock the socks off most 'actual' users. Those who can afford the back will be (and are currently) ordering IQ3-100 in significant numbers. I predict Phase One will have a killer fiscal year.
Now, 32mm is a really special lens but shifting 12mm left/right even on a 60MP back it loses most of its magic, IMHO. While those shifted corners (on 60MP back) don't have color casts, they also do not have the wow-factor. For that wow-factor, I am learning to limit the shifts to 8-9mm. I predict if IQ3-100 can yeild clean 8mm shifts with 32HR, it will still be a killer combo and those who can afford will be buyers.
I really feel the release of a full-frame CMOS digital back is a rejoicing moment for all those who share the passion of photography.
Major props to Yat Lee for posting the 32HR examples.
